The most likely theory about the origin of the Sennenhunde (mountain dogs) in Switzerland is that they descended from dogs that traveled from the ancient Far East via Epirus and Greece to Italy.
They are frozen in time and sometimes deceptively real. Perpetuated in stone or bronze, looking over water, streets, parks or squares, dog statues can be found all over the world.
Europe’s most important show (after the World Dog Show, which is often held in Europe, but not every year) the Europe Dog Show, has large entries–in lighter years 7-8,000, and 12-14,000 dogs in stronger years. Much depends on the time of year, judges, host city, etc. This year’s show was held at a good time, more or less in central Europe, had a good judge list, and drew more than 15,000 dogs.
Let’s face it. The judging business has been suffering through quite a dry spell in recent years. Nothing highlights that sad fact more drastically than a little walk back to the days when this sport had so many great judges; we’ve forgotten half of them.
